Charleston, South Carolina






We learned a lot about this city by going on a tour with an interesting
gentleman who seemed to be quite knowledgeable about it's history. We would have
liked to have taken a walking tour and go into some of the homes. I could not handle
that right now.

Notice all the iron works on the fences, gates, windows. This was all hand hammered
by a man who is over 95 years old and who has taught this art to others to carry on the trade. This was a sign of wealth and prestige years ago.
